Ch. 661..670

Chapter 661

Bonnie rubbed her brows and yawned. "I don't want to walk anywhere. Let's just go hand rest. So many things happened last night." "All right, we'll go hif that's what you want." Although Ivor felt slightly disappointed, he still held her hand and walked to the car.

Then, he took her arm and said warmly, "You're tired, right? Here, lean on my shoulder and get sshut-eye. I'll wake you up when we're there." Bonnie did not argue. She leaned on his shoulder and got comfortable before slowly closing her eyes. "Thanks, Ivor." "You don't have to thank me." He leaned in and said affectionately, "I'll do anything for you." Bonnie grunted and smiled in response. Ivor patted her shoulder and softly said, "I'll let you sleep now." "Mhm," Bonnie responded and fell asleep in no time.

Several minutes later, Ivor noticed she was sound asleep. He said hushedly to Floyd, who was driving, "Go slowly and avoid any bumps you see." "You got it, Mr. Ivor." Floyd slowed down and drove steadily for the rest of the journey. They did not even run into any bumps along the way, allowing Bonnie to sleep throughout the trip.

It was almost noon when they reached Pyralis. However, Bonnie still felt a little tired from the trip. So, she returned to her room to sleep again. Chapter

Meanwhile, Ivor went to his study to review the documents that had accumulated during his two-day absence. He was reading the documents when he noticed the ring Bonnie had given him.

Ivor knew he was too distracted to continue working, so he stopped and recalled the moment she put the ring on his finger. He smiled, and his eyes sparkled.

'Bonnie gavethis ring. She even made it herself. I can't help but love it more every tI look at it.' At that moment, Floyd entered the study with more documents and et saw Ivor's expression. The former grew curious and asked, "Why do you look so happy, Mr. Ivor?" Ivor had a heartfelt smile as he showed his assistant the ring. The former deliberately asked, "What do you think about my new ring?" Floyd checked it out and said, "That's not bad. I'd say it's pretty fashionable." Ivor's grin widened as he wiggled his ring finger and added, "Aren't you curious how I got it? You should ask who gave it to me." 'Mr. Ivor looks so proud and excited

about it. It won't take a genius to figure out who gifted it to him. On the other hand, he looks so happy. Maybe I shouldn't rain on his parade.' Floyd humored his boss and asked, "Who gave it to you, Mr. Ivor?" Ivor lifted his chin at Floyd, his eyes filled with triumph. "Bonnie gave it to me, of course." 'As expected, it's a gift from Bonnie.' Floyd said smilingly,

"Congratulations, Mr. Ivor. You've been trying to win her heart for so long. Now, you can finally reap the Now, you benefits of your efforts. Since she gave you that ring, you have a big place in her heart."

Ivor rubbed his ring fondly. He was satisfied with Floyd's response. I"Now that you've mentioned it, you can start referring to her as my wife."

 

Chapter 662

'I've wanted everyone in the villa to refer to Bonnie as my wife for a while now. However, I know she wouldn't want that. I've been suppressing my urges, but she gavethis ring. That means she'll be bound toforever.

'It's only a matter of tbefore everyone starts referring to her as my wife. I believe she wouldn't mind if I get it started now.' Floyd chuckled and said, "We should've been referring to Ms. Bonnie as your wife long ago, Mr. Ivor. Maybe I should tell everyone else in the villa to do the same." "Not yet. I want you to start doing it first. I'll observe Bonnie's reaction and see how she takes it. If she doesn't object, you can tell everyone else in the villa to do the same." Ivor did not think Bonnie would mind it too much. Still, he wanted to be cautious since it was better to be safe than sorry. She might feel uncomfortable if he botched it. Moreover, Ivor had always been extra careful when it cto Bonnie.

"Understood, sir," Floyd replied.

Ivor nodded and lowered his head to stare at the ring. "She designed this ring for me, Floyd. Hey, does it remind you of Finley, the international jeweler?" Floyd checked the ring and said, "It does. Ms. Bonnie could be a fan of Finley, right? That must be why her design is similar to Finley's. After all, Finley always decides on the current trends in jewelry design. "Many foreign youngsters revere her. Even renowned jewelers try to imitate her. I reckon Ms. Bonnie took inspiration from Finley's work while designing the ring for you." Ivor was initially suspicious of the ring's origins, but after thinking about Floyd's words, Ivor decided that his suspicions were wrong.

"It doesn't matter what style Bonnie adopted when she designed it for me. I love it because it's a gift from her." The day rolled on, and dinner tarrived. Ivor out sfood on Bonnie's plate and ensured no bones were in her branzino. There was even a plate of peeled prawns on the side. Before passing her the dishes, he checked twice to ensure he did not miss out on any bones or skin.

"Here you go, Bonnie." She did not turn them away and instead passed Ivor sribs, saying, "Let's eat together." The adoration in his eyes was unmistakable. "All right, let's." At that moment, the couple looked adorable and loving. Even the housekeepers could not help but smile and internally give their blessings to Ivor and Bonnie.

It just so happened that Sydney visited Ivor's villa for sbusiness. She was outside the dining room when she saw the couple. She gritted her teeth menacingly. Meanwhile, Gunnar was behind Sydney and saw her stop. He asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"Look for yourself. Bonnie looks proud because Ivor dotes on her. I can't stand how pleased she looks right now. She glared at Bonnie as she spoke. The former looked fierce, wishing she could rip Bonnie to shreds.

Gunnar noticed his wife seething with rage and patted her shoulder. He tried to soothe her, "Simmer down!. Chapter

It's not worth coming your En health over someone so insignificant. Let's focus on finding ways to drive her and Ivor apart and Kiek her out of the family As luck would have it, Flynn heard what his father said.

 

Chapter 663

Instead of showing himself, Flynn remained hidden in a corner and continued to eavesdrop on his parents. Meanwhile, Sydney did not know her son was nearby. She was too busy thinking of a way to teach Bonnie a lesson.

Then, she thought of something and squinted, grimly saying, "Let's contact Eloise. We'll team up with her and deal with Bonnie together." Gunnar recalled the young lady posting an apology on the intea while ago. He could not resist frowning. "Although she didn't do much, the incident was exaggerated. It barely rippled out in the end." "Don't be so sure of yourself." A grim light flashed in Sydney's eyes as she sneered. "I've known Eloise since she was a little girl. She won't give up that easily, especially after Bonnie publicly humiliated her. "Eloise won't let Bonnie off the hook. If I'm right, Eloise is probably plotting to run Bonnie as we speak." Gunnar's eyes sparkled when he heard that. He replied, "That would be perfect. If that's the case, we might not even have to contact Eloise. We'll just wait until she puts her plans in motion. Then, we'll support her from the shadows.

"With our help, Eloise will corner Bonnie. Bonnie won't have a chance to reclaim herself this time." "You're right. We don't have to contact Eloise. We can always help her from behind the scenes." Sydney smirked menacingly. "I can't wait to see Bonnie's miserable look when we kick her out of the family." The older couple saw Flynn emerging from his hiding spot a moment later. He strode toward his parents and grabbed their shoulders to pull them out of the villa. When the treached a gazebo, Sydney freed herself from her son's grasp and frowned.

"What are you doing, Flynn?! Why'd you drag us out here?" Gunnar knew why his son did that but feigned ignorance and said, "Tell us why you brought us out here, Flynn."

"Are you seriously askingthat?" Flynn's eyes were rageful when he recalled listening to his parents' plot against Bonnie. "I knew you schemed to-drive a wedge between Bonnie and Ivor last time. "I've been waiting to talk to you two since then. Fortunately, their love is so strong that it withstood your little schemes. I thought I'd let it slide, but you're still so hung up on it. You two want nothing but the worst for her.

"You're doing the wrong thing. Listen toand stop obsessing over Bonnie, or you'll regret your actions O sooner or later." Sydney never expected her son to speak to her and her husband that way. She was so shocked that she could not respond. 'Flynn has always been cocky. He was worse out there, too. No one could control him.'

 

Chapter 664

'Flynn was obedient to Gunnar andwhen he returned. He'd still listen to everything I said and never argued. Now, he's speaking to us, his parents so rudely. I've doted on Flynn since childhood. I can't believe he's talking tolike this for Bonnie's sake!' The more Sydney thought about it, the angrier she became. Her breathing becrapid, and her face reddened. "Did Bonnie put a spell on you or something? Why are you standing up for her now? You realize you're going against your parents, right?" 'We're doing what we do for his sake, yet he's speaking up for an outsider. Flynn is pissingoff!' "What do you mean by that, Mom? Bonnie impressedwith her capabilities and character-nothing else! I'm not the only one she has impressed, either. Give her time, Mom and Dad. I believe you'll be impressed with her, too." Flynn thought his parents misjudged Bonnie. Hence, he tried his best to persuade them otherwise.

However, Sydney's expression darkened. "Bonnie's character and capabilities impressed you, huh? Hmph, you must be under her spell, then. Did you forget how she almost got you kicked out of the country? She even threatened to forbid you from returning for a decade! "Has anyone else treated you so poorly? You have her to thank for all your sufferings, yet you're sticking up for her. You must have a screw loose. That's why you don't know what you're doing now!" "I know what I'm doing. You and Dad are the ones who are clueless!" Flynn wanted to tell them Bonnie's true identity to show them the truth. However, Bonnie had forbidden him from doing that, so he could only bite his tongue.

Meanwhile, Sydney stared at her son. She knew he would take Bonnie's side, no matter what. With that, a deep sorrow replaced the rage she felt in her heart. Sydney could not help but tear up.

"Flynn, you used to be so obedient and understanding. Are you even the swell-behaved and considerate son we once knew?" She thought back to Bonnie's despicable face, and a profound hatred flashed in her eyes. "It's all Bonnie's fault! You wouldn't be like this if it weren't for her! She has warped your mind. You've had the worst luck in life, my poor son. I wonder if there's still hope for you, Flynn." Suddenly, Sydney clenched her fist, and her expression grew grim. "I swear I'll never tolerate Bonnie's presence in our family! I won't quit until we've kicked her out of the family!" Gunnar's expression stiffened as he said, "You have my support, dear! Flynn is our only son, yet Bonnie turned him into this sorry mess. Of course, I won't let her get away with it!" Flynn grew anxious. He could not believe that his parents insisted on teaching Bonnie a lesson. "Aren't I doing well now, Mom? What in the world are you two talking about?" "Save your breath, Flynn. We've long wanted Bonnie out of the Knight family and Arvandor. You can say whatever you want, but it won't change our minds," Sydney said firmly.

Naturally, Gunnar took his wife's side. "Your mom's right. We've decided not to settle until we ruix Bonnie for manipulating you. We'll never accept someone as vicious and heartless as her to be a family member."

ག Flynn saw his parents' stubbornness and clenched his fists. He sighed trying to suppress his frustration. Ultimately, he could not stand it, wanting to tell them everything.

"You two keep saying you want to kick Bonnie out of the family and Arvandor. Chapter

dor. Well, do you know who she is? Here's the truth. Sh-she's the pillar of the scientific research world.

She's Ms. Bonita!"

 

Chapter 665

A pin-drop silence hung over the trio. Gunnar and Sydney froze at the sudden revelation. Chapter

'Mom and Dad's reactions are reasonable. After all, I froze like them when I learned Bonnie was Bonita. I was in disbelief, too. That said, after getting over my initial shock, I had nothing but profound respect and admiration for her.' Flynn believed his parents would start treating Bonnie differently after what he told them. Suddenly, Sydney palmed his forehead and asked worriedly, "Why are you spouting nonsense? Do you have a fever?" 'God damn it. I broke my promise to Bonnie and told my parents the truth, yet they still don't believe me.' Flynn felt helpless as he moved away from his mother's hand. "I don't have a fever. I told you the truth. Bonnie is Ms. Bonita." "Jeez, your mind is nothing but mush now." Sydney shook her head in distress. She turned to Gunnar and said, "Our son's condition has worsened. Should we get a psychiatrist to look into it? Otherwise, our only son will be ruined." Gunnar sighed. "I can tell his condition is worsening by the day because of Bonnie. We have no tto lose. Let's get him checked now, or he might becworse than he already is." The older couple discussed their son's nonexistent mental illness as he stood there. Flynn grew so upset that he almost jumped. Instead, he said agitatedly, "Mom! Dad! I wasn't lying! I-If you don't believe me, you can ask Grandpa about it. You'll learn the truth if you talk to him!" He was so worked up that he told his parents everything. Still, they merely leaned close to each other and whispered among themselves, ignoring their son.

Flynn was furious as he strode across the gazebo toward the living room.

"Since that didn't work, I'll go in there and tell Bonnie about your plot! I'll tell her to keep her guard up around you guys. The last thing I want is for you two to ruin her life." Sydney heard her son's words and turned to Gunnar. The couple exchanged worried looks before catching up to Flynn and standing in his way. Sydney grabbed her son's arm and said, "Your dad and decided this long ago, Flynn. You can't mess up our plans! She turned to the bodyguards standing far away and exclaimed, "Hey, I need help! Take my son away!" The two bodyguards heard her and marched over. They held Flynn's shoulders, and he struggled fiercely. He was so agitated that his face reddened. "Letgo, damn it!" Sydney rubbed her brows in frustration and waved at the bodyguards. "Take him back to the car. We're going to see a psychiatrist now." "No! I won't go! I'm not crazy, so why should I go?!" Flynn's fury grew, but the bodyguards had subjugated him. His struggles were futile.

Flynn added, "Do you even consideryour son?! How can you not m believe me? You even told the bodyguards to catch me! Order them to letgo, now!"

'I didn't want to do this, my dear boy, but your mind is screwed. That must be why you're taking Bonnie's side. I can't let you ruin our plan. I wouldn't do this if there were another way.'

"We're going because of your condition, Flynn. There's something wrong with your head and we can't afford to wait to fix it. All you need to know is that we're your parents. We have your best interest at heart. Be a dear and cooperate with us, okay?" Flynn was on the verge of a meltdown as he said, "H-How many times must I repeat myself, Mom?! I'm not crazy!" Standing silently on the sidelines, Gunnar seized the opportunity to reach into his son's pocket and snatch his phone away.

 

Chapter 666

"Cooperate with the psychiatrist when we're there, Flynn. Do what they tell you to do, and you'll return to your normal self before you know it." 'I thought Mom and Dad were bluffing when they said they'd sendto a psychiatrist to get my head checked,' Flynn thought, 'At most, they'd keephere for several days before lettingout.' However, his father had taken his phone, showing they were serious. Flynn quickly said, "W-Wait, I'll do as you said and won't tell Bonnie your plan. Don't sendto a psychiatrist!" 'There's nothing wrong with my head-I'm perfectly sane. There's no telling if the doctor will pronouncea psycho once I get submitted. I can't go there.' Sydney shook her head. She did not believe her son. "Sweetheart, listen to me. It's harmless to get your head checked." Gunnar helplessly added, "Listen to your mom. It doesn't matter if you're sane or not. It doesn't hurt to get checked. Maybe a trip to the psychiatrist will get you back on your feet." Flynn gave up and looked to the skies, thinking, 'I can't get through to them. I'll have to play ball. That's the only way I'll escape this mess.' "All right, I know you guys don't believe a word I said. How about I swear an oath instead? God will cursewith a childless future if I tell anyone about your plan." "You piece of shit!" Gunnar was furious as he smacked the back of Flynn's head. "Do you think that's acceptable?!" Both parents' hearts softened as they ordered the bodyguards to let their son go. Chapter

"Understood," the two bodyguards responded simultaneously and stepped back.

Gunnar approached Flynn and asked disbelievingly, "Will you keep it a secret, or are you bluffing?" Flynn nodded firmly. "Yeah, there's no need to tell anyone, after all." "That's great, sweetie. You finally see the truth and understand that everything we do is for you." Sydney was delighted that her son had regained his senses and took their side.

Gunnar looked grateful, saying, "All that matters is that you see the truth. You must know everything we do is for your sake, son."

Then, the older couple noticed a strange look on their son's face as he glanced at the living room. Elimin looked mesmerized as he said pridefully, "I won't tell Bonnie anything because she's intelligent. None of the women who craved Ivor could outdo her, much less trouble her.

"Indeed, Eliose is tough, but she's a nobody compared to Bonnie. She should feel lucky that Bonnie isn't interested in holding grudges.

Otherwise, Bonnie could've crushed Eloise like a bug!"

Sydney and Gunnar sighed heavily. They thought Flynn had finally begun to see reason However, it seemed he En had just beccrazier. 'Bonnie has done a number on our son's psyche. Is there a chance our son Flynn will regain his sanity?'

 

Chapter 667

Several days later, Bonnie went to the university after finishing her work at the research institute. She had just reached the gate when she heard a piercing voice, "Hey, Bonnie! You've skipped school for several days now.

"Do you think you own the university? You can't cand go as you please! I worry about you. Why are you skipping classes if your life depended on it? You might not be able to graduate at this rate." Bonnie turned and saw Selina and two girls standing across from her. One of the girls in a yellow dress stifled a chuckle while looking at Bonnie disdainfully. Chapter

"Selina's right. You take this university for granted because you got a perfect score on the SATS. People who disrespect the university will never graduate. Not even the standard universities can tolerate your actions, not to mention a prestigious university like ours! "You're supposed to be the best scholar here. If you don't graduate, you'll becone of the biggest jokes here." The other girl in a black dress added, "You're so undisciplined. You can keep dreaming if you think you'll graduate. Also, I wonder where you got the guts to compete for a guy with the prettiest girl on campus." Selina smirked when she heard what her friends said. She even felt pleased with herself.

Bonnie raised her brow when she saw Selina's reaction. The former asked leisurely, "The prettiest girl on campus? Do you mean Selina? Is that an appropriate title for her? After all, she's no longer the prettiest girl on campus." The girl in black was stumped, not knowing how to retort. It took a while for her to return to her senses. Then, arms akimbo, she said coldly, "You might look a tad prettier than Selina, but that doesn't make you the prettiest girl on campus. It's not just about the looks but also inner beauty.

"You always talk back to the professors and have multiple disciplinary issues. Do you think you're equal to Selina?" The girl in black thought Bonnie would feel humiliated. However, the latter did not show an ounce of shame. On the contrary, Bonnie smirked mockingly. "Oh, really?" The girl in black lifted her chin and said disdainfully, "That's how it has always been! You're just a bimbo who just happened to look pretty. Selina might not be as beautiful as you, but she trumps you in all other aspects." Instead of responding to the girl, Bonnie smirked at Selina and asked, "Where did you find such incompetent friends? That's twice now she's calledprettier than you." Selina's heart dropped. Bonnie's words made her grimace with anger and embarrassment.

The girl in black was wide-eyed as she grabbed Selina's eyes and explained, "Th-that wasn't what I meant, Selina. I-I was just trying to say she's worse than you. I didn't know she'd twist my words that way." "I know what you meant, Maisie. Don't worry about it. Bonnie's trying to drive us apart, but I won't fall for her petty tricks," Selina said through gritted teeth. Although she said that, she still subtly glared at Maisie.

Maisie even relaxed when she thought Selina was not mad at her. The former said "That's right. We're friends, and no one can drive a wedge between us so easily."

Bonnie knew the truth but said m nothing. Instead, she just grinned.

Selina almost let her true feelings show when she saw Bonnie's m mocking grin.

 

Chapter 668

Fortunately, Selina took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. She was able to maintain her usual gracefulness. Even so, a subtle tell in her expression hinted at her anger.

"Bonnie, you've skipped so many classes. Do you think you can still graduate with your poor attendance? I wonder why the former university president keeps taking your side. Still, that doesn't change the fact that you skipped classes.

"All the professors keep your attendance records, so you can't argue it away. You can't just cand go as you please when you're a student at a prestigious university. If you keep acting recklessly, you'll find that not graduating is the least of your problems.

"If the university takes it seriously, they might even expel you. You'd have wasted your tattending this university." Bonnie smiled and said casually, "I appreciate your concern, but I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. None of what you said will happen to me." "Why are you still acting tough?!" Selina scoffed. "You'll cry when you can't graduate or get expelled!" "Oh, wow." Bonnie shrugged. "Let's wait and see what happens." "Why, you little-" Selina sighed. Then, she heard a familiar voice beside her. Chapter

However, the voice was not directed at her. Instead, it was directed at Bonnie, "Why aren't you going into the campus, Bonnie?" Everyone glanced at the person speaking and saw Coleman strolling toward them. He stood beside Bonnie, turned around, and saw Selina. A moment later, his expression grew grim as he asked, "Is she stirring up trouble again, Bonnie?" Selina did not want to leave a wrong impression on the man she admired, so she hastily explained, "I-I wasn't being mean to her. She has skipped too many classes, and I just wanted to greet her." Of course, Coleman did not believe a word she said. He looked at Bonnie and asked, "Is that true?" Bonnie glanced at Selina and said sarcastically, "Hmm, it's true. She cto greetbut wasn't friendly about it. I can't say I blher, though. After all, you're why she's being an ass to me." "Huh?" Coleman was puzzled as a sense of curiosity flashed in his eyes. "Why are you blaming me? I didn't do anything." "Are you serious?" Bonnie glanced at him. "She likes you and treatslike her love rival because of how close we are."

Coleman instinctively looked at Selina. She blushed when she met I his gaze, saying: "Ilth admit I like you "Xadmit I allot, but I did nothing to Bonnie.

Please don't misunderstand me."

Coleman frowned, not knowing how to respond. The content is on !

'I've long known Selina has a thing for me, but I don't feel the sabout her, so I've never discussed it with her. Still, I didn't expect Bonnie to be so forthright about it. Bonnie just opened a can of worms.' Bonnie noticed Coleman's silence and thought, 'I need to tell him something else. After all, we're close friends.'

 

Chapter 669

"Although Selina might like you, I feel obligated to tell you something because we're good friends, Coleman. She's exceptionally vengeful and will hold on to the tiniest grudge for a long time. Then, she'll exact revenge when the tis right.

"If she can't have you, her love for you might turn into hatred. That's when she'll resort to extrmeasures. For your safety, I advise you to stay away from her." Selina had tried her best to suppress her anger for Bonnie. The former tried her best to give Coleman a good impression but could no longer hold herself back after hearing what Bonnie said. Selina roared at Bonnie, "That's utter bullshit, Bonnie! Shut your trap!" Bonnie shook her head at the vicious-looking Selina. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at her, Coleman. She's a raging shrew, and you're too gentle to be with someone like that. I'm trying to tell you to stay away from her." Coleman trusted Bonnie, saying, "All right, I'll do as you say." "Wonderful." Bonnie looked at him with satisfaction, reminiscent of how a teacher would look at their student. "Let's go to the lecture hall together." "All right, I'm coming." He caught up to her and left the gate with her.

Selina watched as they left, her eyes full of resentment. She balled her fists, wishing to pounce at Bonnie and rip her to shreds.

Meanwhile, Maisie and Skylar, the girl in the yellow dress, noticed Selina's grim expression. They could not help but badmouth Bonnie.

"That girl is too much! How dare she talk about you like that in front of Coleman? Bonnie has shattered whatever good impression Coleman has on you, Selina." "Bonnie said all that because they're good friends. I hate her guts! She has never had anything pleasant to say." Selina listened to them while glaring daggers at Bonnie. The resentment in the former's eyes grew increasingly intense, so much so that she emanated a menacing air. "Just you wait, Bonnie. I'll never let you off the hook." The university executives' meeting occurred at half past two in the afternoon, Bonnie sat at the conference desk and swept her gaze across the room. After ensuring everyone was present, she asked, "How are the preparations for the university exhibition going?" The third professor on her left stood up and said, "Everything is going well, Ms. Bonnie. The preparations are underway." Bonnie responded, "Passthe relevant information." "Right away, Ms. Bonnie." He quickly handed her the file. Chapter

Bonnie flipped through the pages and carefully read them. She lookedm splemmas she turned the pages quickly as if she were

speed-reading the entire file. She had already moved on to another page when an ordinary person would still be reading the first few lines.

The top management personnel and professors did not know what she om was doing Soon after, Sprofessors muttered, "Ms. Bonnie is reading so fast. Do you think ske can read everything on a page quickly?" "Do you think she's putting on airs to fool us?" "I don't think so. Maybe Ms. Bonnie has a special way of reading files. Let's not speculate unnecessary things."

 

Chapter 670

"You're right. We don't have to make wild guesses. We'll know if Ms. Bonnie has read every word when she talks about it soon." "Yeah, we should wait for her to finish reading first." Then, Bonnie closed the document and said, "I've gone through the exhibition's content and planning. It's solid work, except for the exhibits themselves. We'll have to work on those." The professor from earlier asked, "What's the issue with the exhibits, Ms. Bonnie? I've done it how we've always done it. I don't recall making any changes." "Don't worry too much, and hearout." Bonnie smiled leisurely. "You said you followed the old ways without making changes, correct? Well, that's where the problem lies. There are 225 exhibits.

"Most of the exhibits comprise the university's collection, no less. That means the students have seen them before and will have difficulty finding them attractive. Indeed, you've made a satisfactory arrangement for the exhibition this time. I praise you for that.

"Still, I promised Russell I'd elevate the university's standing to another level. It's the first exhibition since I took over his position, meaning I'll have to break the norm and show the students a whole new experience.

"I'd like to hear sideas, so let's brainstorm and bring our thoughts together to organize an exhibition that'll turn heads." The professors exchanged glances with the top management staff and began conversing softly. Soon after, a professor presented his idea, "I have spretty cool proposals, Ms. Bonnie. Would you care to hearout?" She looked at him and gestured for him to continue. "Go on." "We can allow the students to bring collections from their respective families. Then, we can loosen the rules for the families who donated to the university. They can enroll their children in the university more easily than the other families. Content "In turn, it'll allow more students to attend our university. It'll be a win-win situation for the contributing families and the university. With that in mind, they'll be more cooperative." Bonnie nodded and proceeded to adopt it immediately. "That works forI must say, that's a fantastic ad'll leave it to you to organize it, then. I believe you'll do an excellent job." The professor smiled humbly, "I appreciate your faith in me, Ms. Bonnie. I'll do everything I can to ensure I do it well." "Perfect. Indeed, I have plenty of faith in you." Bonnie smiled, delighted with the professor's idea.

Meanwhile, Reece felt displeased with himself.

'That's such a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? Not only does Professor Jay have a chance to shine, but he also gets a compliment from Ms. Bonita There goes my chance to show her my worth. What a shame! I wonder if I'll have another shot.'

At that moment, Bonnie glanced at her assistant and gestured forhim to distribute an envelope to each professor and top management staff.

Once everyone had received an envelope, she said solemnly, "I trust om you're no strangers to those envelopes. These are anonymous letters the students have put into my mailbox." Everyone's hearts raced, feeling nervous.
